We found our anniversary celebration gift at this gallery, and the added bonus was looking around a lovely space, with great energy and beautifully displayed artwork. The owner also gave us a recommendation on where to eat which was brilliant!

Staff are friendly, exhibitions are awesome - it's so nice to see so many creative artists in Whangarei area. We took a stroll around the grounds on a quiet day and enjoyed poking around the little artists' hovels and the gift shop. The surrounds are beautiful with green bush and a flowing river with a mini waterfall at the back of the grounds.
